Day 5 of Wandercuse Week means it’s time to search for the last clue! “This last location was once a ghost, But now two buildings are its host. Go to the one above the ground, Just don’t get lost going round and round. Choose something savory or something sweet, Either way you’re in for a treat. The flavors rotate all the time- Each so delicious it should be a crime. One by one, you must try them all, Better than their competitor in the mall.” * Monday’s prize has STILL not been found - so if you know where it is, go get it! As a reminder, to celebrate the 2nd Annual Wandercuse Local Bash, I’ve partnered with 5 of my favorite local businesses to hide prizes around town. Each morning this week I’m releasing a clue to lead you to one of the locations. Figure out the clue, visit the business, and be the first to find the prize to win! Each prize is a metal stemless wine glass containing a Wandercuse passport and a gift card to the location where it is hidden. It gets better - Bring your prize to the local bash at Freight Yard Brewing on Sunday, May 5th for some FREE treats from the food trucks. A few rules to follow: - No purchases are necessary to find the prizes. (Though you are encouraged to support the businesses you visit!) - Each person can only claim ONE prize during Wandercuse Week. - To claim the prize, bring the cup to an employee to receive the passport and gift card. - Winners must post a PUBLIC photo of their prize on Facebook when they find it, tagging Wandercuse AND the business where it is hidden.

It’s Day 4 of Wandercuse Week so that means it’s time for another clue! “Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, This whole shop is quite yellow. For your next road trip you’ll pack One of every single snack. Sharp or creamy, soft or hearty, Plenty of options for your party. By the cube or by the slice, Just be sure to hide it from mice. When purchasing here, there is one rule. For the best experience, keep it all cool.” * Monday and Wednesday prizes are still waiting to be found - so if you know where they are, go get one!

Are you ready for the third clue? It's Day 3 of Wandercuse Week and we are halfway through the prizes hidden around town! “During the middle of this week There’s another prize to seek. Have a breakfast of buttered toast And cereal filled with Barley and oats. Then hop along the city’s border Past the fair, beyond the porter. Where shelves are stacked high over your shoulder These items are only for those a bit older. Search high and low, but please don’t pout For this won’t be the last prize out.” * Yesterday’s prize was found, but Monday's has yet to be claimed - so if you know where it is, go searching!

UPDATE: Today’s prize has been found! It’s Day 2 of Wandercuse Week, which means it’s time for your second clue. Where could this one be? “Around every corner and in each nook Is where treasure seekers must look. Among the leaves with stories to be told, There’s something for everyone - young and old. Listen to the buzz of a brand new day Amongst fellow shoppers along the way. If the prize you seek is on a shelf Don’t be afraid to ask for help. But if it’s hidden somewhere down low, It may be basking in a sunny glow.” * Yesterday’s prize has yet to be claimed - so if you know where it is, go searching!

Happy Earth Day! 🌱 Which also happens to be one of my best friends’ birthdays. So in honor of both holidays, here’s her best advice for what to do when the hiking trails are a bit muddier than expected… 😂 🎥 from Chimney Bluffs State Park a few years ago during a particularly rainy spring 🌧️ . . #earthday #earthday2024 #girlswhohike #happybirthday #bestfriends #hiking #hikingtips #muddy

My level of excitement for another 90s brunch at @talkingcursivebrewing is unparalleled. So I put on my new Boy Meets World shirt from @just_bros_vintage, grabbed some friends, and headed to brunch this morning. Yes, I ordered the exact same thing I had last time because it is SO GOOD: the homemade French toast sticks made from brioche, served with vanilla bean cream cheese, cinnamon butter, and maple syrup for dipping. It also came with bacon and cheesy hash brown potatoes. My husband had the “Don’t L’Eggo of these Eggos” breakfast sandwich, while our friends had the “All That’s Good Burger” and the “Hangover Helper”, paired with the “Not Your Mom’s Cosmo” with a Pop Rocks rim and a grown-up Capri Sun. Everything was delicious, and always, we had such a great time! . #90s #90sbrunch #boymeetsworld #brunchvibes #syracuse #syracuseny #visitsyracuse #craftbrewery #frenchtoast #upstate #upstateeats #syracuseeats #wheresyracuseeats #syracusefood #foodie #nyfoodie #eggo
